Pouncing into Patton

It is the end of the quarter on Oct. 11. All missing/late work is due by Oct. 8.

Please remind your students to check Skyward for missing work so they can get it all in by October 9th. Tiger Pride Cards will be distributed on October 10th.

Gold Cards: No missing assignments, no tardies from lunch or specials, no negative office referrals.

Blue Cards: No missing assignments, no negative office referrals.

As a team, we have implemented an IXL challenge for the students. As they successfully master skills on IXL, they are keeping track of them on a recording sheet. For every 25 skills mastered, students have the opportunity to choose a prize from the IXL Prize Bin in their homeroom. Each classroom has some prizes in their bin already, but we could really use some help to add to the rewards. If you would be willing to contribute some prizes, it would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested prizes: candy, small trinkets and fidgets, special pens and pencils, stickers, stress balls, etc

A Message From Mr. Hall:

6th Grade Band - Because of modified schedules on Tuesday and Thursday we will have woodwinds on Monday and Brass+Percussion on Wednesday next week. Please encourage your student to look at the Google Classroom for 6th grade band and practice their note names.
